All the money from Zambia's copper mines now leaves the country, including subsidies from the European Investment Bank.
Synopsis
All the money from Zambia's copper mines now leaves the country, including subsidies from the European Investment Bank.
Synopsis
Ivo Bystřičan and Jiří Málek travel to Zambia, a country rich in copper reserves. Once, the government mined and sold copper, funding schools and healthcare. After a price drop, privatization led to Western multinational companies taking over. Now, profits leave Zambia, including subsidies from the European Investment Bank. The film presents a stark look at the consequences of this shift, contrasting the narratives of humanitarian aid with the realities on the ground.
